"Waddle into the World" as a UWT Birthright Admission Scholar

In 2012, President Tešanović and the UWT Board of Trustees instituted the nation's first "Birthright Admission" program - by which anyone born on UWT property receives automatic admission upon their graduation from middle or high school and priority scholarship consideration.

Currently, our most prominent UWT Birthright Admission Scholar is Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge, the son of William and Kate of the British royal family (see below).

FAQ: Media Inquiries Regarding Birthright Admission and the "Royal Baby"Q: I've heard that the University of Western Topeka has offered the baby of Prince William and Duchess Kateguaranteed admission and a full scholarship. I have no doubt that he will choose UWT, one of the top institutions in Topeka/the world, for his higher education, but I thought birthright admission is only forpeople born on the UWT campus. If the young prince was born in a London hospital, how is he eligible?A: Thank you for your kind words about our University. Under a complex quasi-legal diplomatic maneuver, UWT unilaterally annexed the grounds of the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital as a part of our campus immediately upon the news that the Duchess had entered labor (and un-annexed it following confirmation of the birth). As a result, Prince George (aka the Royal Baby and Future Duck) was born on the UWT campus and thus automatically granted future admission. The scholarship was awarded by our financial aid office on the basis of assumed intellectual potential.Q: If you annexed the whole wing of the hospital, doesn't that mean that many other babies are also eligible for admission through the Birthright Admission program?A: Technically, that is true. Since we did not know her exact room, we had no choice but to annex the entire hospital grounds, meaning several hundred other babies also qualify. Should all of them wish to take up their entitlement in the future, this will create significant space and financial complications for us, so we are hoping they simply don't find out about it. Please do not publicize this information until 2050. Thank you for your cooperation.Q: Where can wefind out more about your fine institution?Great question.
